Aradia Statue

Aradia, "Queen of the Witches," is believed to have been a real high-born woman who taught witchcraft to oppressed people in Italy, despite persecution. Legend tells us she was the daughter of the Goddess Diana, sent to care for her worshippers. Here Aradia calls on Diana to bless and inspire her teachings as she stands at the crossroads by the pillar of Hecate. Cimaruta symbols surround and support her. The inscription reads, "Listen to my teaching in the voice of the wind."
